Core Services

Complete Compliance
Coverage — From
Prevention to Defense

Every service PDPM Audit Optimization Group™ provides is designed around one principle: your facility should never be surprised by an audit. We build the defense before the auditor arrives.

01
Compliance Audit Defense

When a federal or state audit arrives, your documentation is already organized, your staff is already trained, and your defense is already written. PDPM Audit Group™ prepares you before — not during. Every audit type, every documentation requirement, every appeals pathway — covered under one agreement.

RAC TPE OIG CERT UPIC
01
MDS & PDPM Optimization

Your MDS is the foundation of everything — reimbursement, quality metrics, audit exposure. We review every section, identify documentation patterns that create risk, and train your coordinators on current CMS expectations.

MDS Review PDPM QRP VBP
03
State Survey Defense

State health inspections and federal certification surveys create significant compliance risk. We monitor regulatory changes in real time and ensure your facility documentation meets every current standard before surveyors arrive.

Health Inspections Life Safety CMS Certification
04
Quarterly Staff Training

Every role in your facility — from the administrator to the dietary aide — receives targeted compliance training each quarter. Training is specific to their role, current regulations, and your facility's specific risk profile.

All Roles Quarterly CMS Current
05
Monthly Leadership Meetings

Your administrator and leadership team receive a full compliance and billing performance report every month — with documented improvements, upcoming regulatory changes, and a proactive plan already in place.

Monthly Reports Billing Review Proactive Planning
06
Physician Training

Physicians are one of the highest-risk documentation gaps in any SNF. Our 1-on-1 physician training sessions focus on order documentation, diagnosis specificity, and the connection between physician notes and MDS coding.

1-on-1 Documentation ICD-10
Audit Defense Coverage

Every Audit Type.
One Defense Team.

RAC
Recovery Audit Contractor

Post-payment reviews targeting improper Medicare and Medicaid payments. High-dollar overpayment demands with aggressive collection timelines.

TPE
Targeted Probe & Educate

CMS pre-payment and post-payment reviews targeting facilities with identified billing patterns. Escalates to Additional Documentation Requests.

OIG
Office of Inspector General

Federal investigations into fraud, waste, and abuse. Can result in exclusion from Medicare/Medicaid and significant civil monetary penalties.

CERT
Comprehensive Error Rate Testing

Annual CMS program measuring improper payment rates. CERT findings directly influence future RAC and TPE targeting of your facility.

UPIC
Unified Program Integrity Contractor

Investigates potential fraud and abuse across Medicare and Medicaid. Has authority to request medical records and interview staff.

RAI
Resident Assessment Instrument

MDS accuracy and completion audits. Errors in RAI documentation directly affect PDPM reimbursement and quality measure scores.

PBJ
Payroll Based Journal

CMS staffing data reporting compliance. Inaccurate PBJ submissions affect Five-Star ratings and trigger additional regulatory scrutiny.

State
State Health Surveys

Annual health inspections, complaint investigations, and life safety surveys. Deficiencies affect certification status and public Five-Star rating.

Staff Training Program

Every Role.
Every Quarter.
Current with CMS.

Compliance failures almost always trace back to staff who were not trained on current requirements. PDPM Audit Group™ trains every role in your facility — not just clinical staff — every single quarter, with content updated to reflect the latest CMS guidance.
